This lettuce is easy to grow to the baby leaf stage indoors in 1010 and 1020 trays or as microgreens.
The upright habit of this Romaine Cos lettuce makes for a very dense tray.
Harvest baby leaf lettuce in as few as 25-days.
You can get up to 3 cuttings off of one tray if harvested correctly.
Our seed packet contains 0.8-grams; however, we recommend using only 0.6 to 0.7-grams on each 1020 tray. Yes, that little bit of seed will fill out at the baby leaf stage and fill the tray. Using more only causes the inside leaves to brown.
This seed is Certified Organic and, of course, Non-GMO.
